1 Claim.

This invention relates to laundry equipment and more particularly a new and novel sad iron holder.

The primary object of this invention resides in the provision of a sad iron holder adapted to removably retain a sad iron thereon so it will not accidentally slip therefrom and burn the ironing board or become damaged.

Another object of this invention resides in the provision of a sad iron holder adapted to be removably attached to an ironing board in such position that a sad iron can be easily and quickly rested thereon by the operator thereof without twisting his arms from practiced in ironing clothes and the like.

A further object of this invention resides in the particular disposition of the base of the iron holder and arm secured thereto.

A still further object of this invention resides in the provision of a sad iron holder and bracket adapted-to be insulated against burning the iron board or other support to which it is attached.

Among the many objects of this invention is the particular manner of removably securing the sad iron holder to an ironing board.

One of the salient features of this invention resides in the particular construction of the side and rear flanges of the sad iron holder.

With these and other objects in view, this invention resides in certain novel features of construction and arrangement of elements to be hereinafter more particularly set forth in the specification, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and pointed out in the appended claim and, although this disclosure depicts my present conception of the invention, the right is reserved to resort to such departures therefrom as come within the scope of the claim.

In the accompanying .drawing forming a part of this application.

Fig. l is a plan view of the sad iron holder attached to a portion of an ironing board.

Fig. 2 is a cross sectional view taken approximately on line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the sad iron holder.

In the present illustration of this invention the numeral 5 designates, in general, a sad iron holder constructed of cast metal or any suitable fireproof material into the shape of a sad iron and consists of a bottom 6 having side flanges 1 disposed approximately on perpendicular planes adjacent their rear ends as indicated by the numeral 8 and graduallydirected inwardly to the point 9 of the holder as indicated by the numeral ID to the natural movement form opposed pockets I l for reception of the lower flared edges of a sad iron (not shown). Through the particular construction of the aforesaid side flanges of the sad iron holder, a sad iron can be easily and quickly slid forwardly thereof until its flaring side portions lodge beneath the inturned portions of the flanges where it is prevented from accidental rear movement by an upstanding rib l2 disposed across the rear of the holder between the perpendicular rear portions of the flanges and, in order to permit the sad iron to be easily removed from the holder, the forward upper edge of the rib I2 is bevelled or curved as indicated by th numera1 l3.

Secured or otherwise connected to the lower surface of the bottom of the holder at an obtuse angle to a 1ine running longitudinally through the same is an arm I4 formed of heat resistant and fire-proof material. Said arm [4 supports the lower surface of the holder in spaced relation to the ironing board and has its outer end l5 bent downwardly so as to abut the edge of the ironing board.

Fastened at the outer end of the arm M by rivets l5 or other suitable means is a substantially U-shape metal clamp I6 having its lower arms I! apertured and threaded to receive a thumb-screw l8 on the like so as to securely retain the sad iron holder at such angle to the edge of the ironing board that that the operator thereof can readily swing a sad iron in the holder and remove it therefrom with natural movements of his arms acquired in ironing clothes and the like on th ironing board.

With this invention fully set forth, it is manifest that a sad iron holder is provided which will prevent a sad iron rested thereon from accidental dislodgment therefrom and, through th particular disposition of the arms of the holder, a sad iron can be easily and quickly lodged on and removed from the holder without the ironer twisting or otherwise assuming an unnatural position in performing his work.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as desire to protect by Letters Patent is:

A sad iron holder comprising, a bottom of a shape substantially similar to that of a sad iron, flanges formed on the sides of the bottom and having their rear portions lying on perpendicular planes and their forward edge portions gradually directed inwardly toward one another to form opposed sad iron receiving channels, a heat resistant arm secured to the lower surface of the bottom at an. obtuse angle to a longitudinal line running through the center of the sad iron holder,
